. ~ MONDAY. APRIL 30. 1917. THE QUESTION OF LABOR < 'Probably the Most Serious Handicap to Put in Maximum Crops This Year Is the Scarcity of Farm Labor. [National Crop Improvement Servics.] Many a good crop will be ruined be- cause farmers cannot get labor at the right time, There are two times of the year when more labor is absolute- 1y necessary—at seed time and at har- vest. While our farmers need men at other times of the year, these are the two crucial periods. ‘s As it is to the interest of every per- “son living in this county to produce a bumper crop this year, we must do all we car to help the farmer and per- haps the most important thing we can do, is to find him right help of the right class. There are three classes of farm help ~—(1) The regular farm hands who are going to be rather scarce. (2) There are, however, a great many men who work in factories, in wholesale houses, drive teams and other occupations who could possibly be spared during the rush seasons. It is the duty of the commercial clubs and manufacturers to make a list of these men and offer them for detached service when ur- gently needed. There is a third class of labor which is very efficient and that is men of affairs who have been raised on farms who will volunteert to help the farmers out during the rush. This is the greatest work our business men can accept to show their patriotism at this time. A Report on Rotation of Crops. [National Crop Improvement Service.) . The tenth annual report of the North Dakota Demonstration Farms 18 ready for distribution. The crops are rotated on these farms. The re- sults indicate that a rotation of crops pays. The average wheat yield was 29% bushels. This wheat was in most cases followed by corn that had been manured. Oats 58% bushels, barley 37%, rye 21%; alfalfa 2% tons per acre. The rotation practiced on each farm 1s given in the report as well as a detailed account of just how each \\ fleld was handled. | | BARLEY NEXT TO CORN. [National Crop Imprevement Service.) Barley has a feeding value next to corn. Indeed some feeders place it ahead of corn for pig food and at the present prices, barley will make as much and more profit than wheat. The wheat cron has now *“gone to the jury.” We cannot do much more about wheat but we have two or three weeks yet in order to put all of our acreage remaining into barley. Barley is more profitable than oats. In fact, very few farmers make any money out of oats under the best cir- cumstances and very few barley far- mers ever lose money on barley. There is always the fascination of get- ting a fancy price for fancy barley, and although less than one per cent of all grains are used for malting pur- poses, the additional price which it gives to barley over oats always makes money for the farmers.

BARLEY NOT A HUMAN FOCD As a Bread Cereal It Is Little Used. As An Animal Food It Is of Great Value. [Natlonal Crep Improvement Service.] For many centuries barley, the “corn” of holy writ, was used as a bread cereal, but it has practically gone out of use, except that Norway and Sweden use it in their peculiar bread disks, which are about the size and shape of a phonograph record. Barley in itself does not make a a good bread flour and could be uti- lized only by mixing it with wheat, something which the American miller considers desecration of his shrine. It Jas a peculiar flavor and is just as dif- ferent from wheat bread, as either corn or rye. But as a stock feed, it has many merits. As the kernels are too hard for some animals to relish, it may be crushed by passing it between rollers It finely ground, the gluten makes a sticky mass as seon as it is wet, and this peculiar property makes it difficult to make it into good bread. Its main use in the American kitchen has been to use it as pearled barley in soups. It is used some in breakfast food, through a malting process, but unless we as American people are on the verge of starvation, we will ne‘ver use barley as s regular diet.
